Significant figures
We shall define “last digit” to be the last of the significant figures in which we are
interested, such that we are going to get rid of all digits to the right of the “
last digit”.
We shall also define “deciding digit” to be the digit to the immediate right of the “
last digit”, and“ successive digits ” to be all the digits (if any) to the right of the
deciding digit.
